President-elect Cde Emmerson Mnangagwa says his
inauguration will take place tomorrow in line with country’s constitution.
The President revealed this today in Harare after attending
a post-elections leadership prayer meeting held in the capital.
The Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) hosted the prayer
meeting at a local hotel.
The prayer session was also attended by Vice President
Retired General Dr Constantino Chiwenga, Zanu PF Chairperson Cde Oppah
Muchinguri Kashiri, leaders from various political parties and leaders from
different church denominations.
Speaking to ZBC News soon after emerging from the prayer
meeting, Cde Mnangagwa said his much awaited inauguration is expected to take
place this Sunday in line with the country laws.
“According to the
law and I have also heard from my Deputy President Chiwenga that I should be
inaugurated 48 hours after the time I was declared the president-elect by the
court, so it means that it should not be later that end of day tomorrow
(Sunday),” he said.’
Cde Mnangagwa hailed the ZCC for organising the
post-elections leadership prayer meeting and called on all opposition party
leaders to uphold the peace and tranquility which is prevailing in the country
until the next elections and beyond.
“It was a short notice by the church leaders the ZCC, but I
managed to attend. I commend the church
leaders for organising the post-election prayer meeting which brings us
together regardless of political affiliation. I urge them to continue doing
this…we need peace, unity and that we should continue preaching this,” said the
president-elect.
The Secretary General of the ZCC Reverend Dr Kenneth Mtata
says the prayer session was aimed at bringing all leaders together with one
common cause for a smooth transition to re-build a prosperous Zimbabwe.
The post-election leadership breakfast meeting was held
under the theme: ‘Enhancing Prospects for Democratic Transition’.
